Tracks



01. Phasm Pteropus

Attack from on high
Shrieking loud terror cry

Glowing green insane eyes

Claws dig their way in
Blood runs from your skin

Writhe now in torment
Writhe now in torment
Writhe now in torment

Through haze and fog
Flies on and on

Never to stop
He will never be done
Never to stop
He will never be done

Throat torn out
You cannot speak

Wrapped inside
It's giant wings

The horror has
No end it seems

And time moves
As if in a dream

04. The Final Curse Upon The Land

Pharaohs ten curses will be
Visited upon thee

Torture pain and punishment
The underworld your souls be sent

Boils Bats Frogs Blood
Number four to one

Rats Hail Beasts Locust
Our hatred now be focused

First born sons
Be taken from
And darkness now
In place of sun

In 10,000 years
May seem a myth
Our god cannot
Be reckoned with

05. To Rest We Lay Them

Silently, silently
Sleep the peaceful dead

Mournfully, sighingly
Tears o'er them are shed

Though the dust to dust returneth
Yet their spirits now have gone

To the god of love who giveth
And their works do follow on

Silently to rest we lay them
Empty is their house of clay

Unto god the soul returneth
Silently to pass away

06. The Old Customs Remain And The Ancient Gods Live On

A heap, a mass, of flesh

Once you were, once you were

The blood within our breast

Time, time, time, time

Rots at everything

The mighty fall, the weak succeed

Honor is our defeat
Honor is our defeat

Who are and who are not

Living forever and wanting to die

Always why
Always why

The black, the cold, embrace the old

Embrace the old
Embrace the old

The mind, the mind, the mind

The reason you try
The reason you don't

Crush all in way in a sea of hate

Wanting the end is the reason it won't
Wanting the end is the reason it won't
